Hello! My name is Zizi and I'm 10 years old.
I love making decorations for my hearing aids.
Here I am going to teach you how to make your own decorations!

I will teach you to make dangling charm decorations, and also twisty decorations that go around the tubes.
Also, I will tell you how I use beads and stickers to decorate my aids.

Some of the decorations are easy to make, but some are difficult and you will need a grown-up to help you.

My mum and dad help me make my decorations for my hearing aids.

Charms tutorial

Yesterday I made many new charms and on friday, when I go to my audiologist I will give him the twenty pairs that I made with my mum. I hope he will give them to other children. I made heart, stars and skeleton charms. Here are some of the charms I made and there is also a tutorial as well, I hope you enjoy it. Good luck, Zizi.




This is what you need.

you need wire, two rings (we use one half of a tiny toggle clasp, we buy them here on ebay, two tiny silver beads, charms and beads and here is how you make it:


You put the wire through the charm at the bottom of your decoration.


You twist the wire a little bit.


You add the beads you like.


You add the ring, and then twist a little bit.
You cut it close to the wire to make sure it doesn't scratch your ear.
And that's it!

My new hearing aids!

Two weeks ago I got my new hearing aids. They are a lovely shiny colour of red!


I'm famous in Norway!

I am famous in Norway! My mum found this. We think it's a magazine for deaf people, and half way through they have featured my blog with lovely pictures. It's very exciting.

4000 views!!

I'm so happy that I have reached 4000 views! I hope you are learning to make a lot of interesting decorations for your hearing aids. You can make decorations out of almost anything. Sometimes I don't like wearing my hearing aids but when I have new decorations it makes me feel better.  If you don't like wearing hearing aids perhaps my tutorials will give you some nice ideas.  Thank you for reading my blog!

  
My mum and I made these twists with the bracelets that we bought from Claire's.

More twists!

My mum went to Claire's today, and she found more twists like the ones I talked about here, but also some new tiny shiny ones.


You can cut them up to make twists for your aids, it's very easy. Mine look great with my new shiny moulds.

Rubber bands

Last week I went to Spain, and my cousin Catalina taught me how to make bracelets and charms with rubber bands. These are the bands:



And these are some of the things I have been making:



My mum thought they would make good hearing aid decorations. What do you think?


There are lots of tutorials on youtube teaching how to make flowers and other things. I like the ones on the channel called Made by Mommy, like this snow flake.

Snakes!

For Christmas I got a new kind of material to make decorations. It's called Crayola Model Magic. It comes in different colors:





It's a bit like plasticine, but dry. It's soft and squidgy. It is similar to Fimo for making decorations, but you do not need to bake it. When you make things out of Fimo they are hard. With Model Magic they are softer. My mum says its good for making decorations with little children.

We made some snakes. Here they are:


We made them in the same way as twisters using Fimo, like I explained here, but added a little tongue, and eyes with a permanent marker.

Here is what they look when I put them on:
